FancyGit is a tool which works for Linux and MAC OS, that changes the terminal prompt in order to show you a few cool git informations when you're working on a git repo. It'll always keep you informed about the current branch status.

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diogocavilha/fancy-git/master/install.sh | shcurl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diogocavilha/fancy-git/master/uninstall.sh | sh- Change your terminal font to one of these fonts:
- Sauce-Code-Pro-Nerd-Font-Complete-Windows-Compatible.ttf.
- DejaVu-Sans-Mono-Nerd-Font-Complete.ttf.
- DejaVu-Sans-Mono-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf.
- JetBrains-Mono-Regular-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf.
- JetBrains-Mono-Medium-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf.
It's necessary for rendering icons/symbols properly.
If you can't find the font, it's still possible to install it manually by runningfancygit --fonts-installor even installing the ttf file which is placed at~/.fancy-git/fonts/.
- Restart your terminal.
Run fancygit -h to check FancyGit help.
git config --global color.ui true
git config --global color.diff.meta "yellow bold"
git config --global color.diff.old "red bold"
git config --global color.diff.new "green bold"
git config --global color.status.added "green bold"
git config --global color.status.changed "yellow"
git config --global color.status.untracked "cyan"Run fancygit --suggested-global-git-config to see that suggested config.
Run fancygit --suggested-global-git-config-apply to apply it.
I suggest you to use this config because FancyGit will paint the background branch, most of the time, according to the current repo status, since you're using some theme which allows that.
Type fancygit -h for more information.
As a picture is worth a thousand words...
Working on a Python virtual environment?
If you don't want to be too "fancy", you can choose using the simple theme by running fancygit --theme-simple.
If you want to return to the default theme, just type fancygit --theme-default.
There are a few more themes and color schemes you can choose from.
Type fancygit -h to see all available themes and color schemes on "THEME COMMANDS" and "COLOR SCHEME COMMANDS" sections.
Here you have a list of available themes and their corresponding color schemes.
Screenshot font: JetBrains-Mono-Medium-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf
fancygit --theme-default (default color scheme: --color-scheme-default)
fancygit --color-scheme-dracula
fancygit --color-scheme-batman
fancygit --color-scheme-robin
fancygit --color-scheme-superman
fancygit --color-scheme-light
fancygit --color-scheme-neon
fancygit --color-scheme-cga
fancygit --theme-human (default color scheme: --color-scheme-human)
fancygit --theme-simple (default color scheme: --color-scheme-simple)
You can type fancygit --separator<TAB> so you can see all the available separator styles for you to use.
It's highly recommended to set up the terminal font to one of:
- Sauce-Code-Pro-Nerd-Font-Complete-Windows-Compatible.ttf.
- DejaVu-Sans-Mono-Nerd-Font-Complete.ttf.
- DejaVu-Sans-Mono-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf.
- JetBrains-Mono-Regular-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf.
- JetBrains-Mono-Medium-Nerd-Font-Complete-Mono.ttf.
This way, symbols will be rendered correctly and new FancyGit releases must work as expected.
In order to install the fonts you can run fancygit --fonts-install.

fancygit --separator-blocks
fancygit --separator-blocks-tiny
fancygit --separator-curve

Feature switchers are special commands to enable/disable features and they work on every theme.
You can enable or disable them by typing fancygit --enable-<feature-name> or fancygit --disable-<feature-name>.
Type fancygit -h to see all available feature switchers on "FEATURE SWITCHER COMMANDS" section.

If you like to tweak things more in-depth, like special characters and such, you can create environment variables. These variables override any value found in FancyGit default configuration.
Example:
You want to change the branch icon, because you are using a different console font and the icon is on a different character position inside the font. Simply create the correspondent environment variable.
For sure, you will likely have changed the symbol:
# Branch icon.
FANCYGIT_ICON_LOCAL_REMOTE_BRANCH=""Here you can see a list of available environment variables FancyGit will search and replace:
# Only local branch icon.
FANCYGIT_ICON_LOCAL_BRANCH
# Branch icon.
FANCYGIT_ICON_LOCAL_REMOTE_BRANCH
# Merged branch icon.
FANCYGIT_ICON_MERGED_BRANCH
# Staged files.
FANCYGIT_ICON_HAS_STASHES
# Untracked files.
FANCYGIT_ICON_HAS_UNTRACKED_FILES
# Changed files.
FANCYGIT_ICON_HAS_CHANGED_FILES
# Added files.
FANCYGIT_ICON_HAS_ADDED_FILES
# Unpushed commits.
FANCYGIT_ICON_HAS_UNPUSHED_COMMITSThanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
